There is no <i>dainty</i> written into her posture. Back rigid with tension and muscle, her gaits are jarringly efficient and entirely focused, with no room for distraction or error. In motion or stilled, she has a dominant body language that bespeaks confidence and, overwhelmingly, the notion that she has got shit to do and you're right in the middle of her path.

<p>In physical design only, Shiva appears to have taken very little from her father's genetic pool and relied heavily upon the de Cenero lineage. Though of a similar size to her father, she is truly average with regards to the other wolves found within Refugee Point-- though perhaps on the small side of average, considering the overwhelming influence of incredibly large northern wolves in the area. Compared to her sibling and the other Lakshmanas, however, Shiva blends right in. Average height seems to run in the Lakshmana family and a few centimeters under three feet tall is just right for her heritage. Her legs are hardly pretty, corded with muscle and nicked by pink scars, and the girl's muzzle is the same way; she's lived a young life spent fighting and that life has left its marks, small and unobtrusive as they are. The rest of her body is the same - sinewy, with more muscle than the vast majority of the females prancing about - and, combined with her posture and expression, leaves her common. She isn't ugly, but she is average; her face is too sharp, too wolfishly hungry and predatory, and her body too unfeminine to warrant attention or drive the hearts of men, or women, wild with lust.

<p>Sunny where her brother is earthen, Shiva's main hue is a tarnished wheat blonde that mimics her father's burnished copper in saturation, if not shade. A deeper rust hue brushes her neck and throat in a curious red collar. Like stockings, her mother's white creeps up her corded legs and quickly blends with the slightly darker cream. A white star marks her chest and the white appears again beneath her bright teal eyes.

Shiva is, first and foremost, the long arm of the law. From birth, she trained to carry on her father's title and duty and when her cousin, Chander, stepped in to hover in Acaelus' too-large boots, she turned her anger and resentment into a desire to train even harder. As a result, Shiva is more experienced than the average two-and-a-half year old and considerably more serious; her demeanor is brusque at best and downright callous at worst. Fun is a luxury she can't afford to have and, faced with protecting her face and filling her father's shoes, it's an understatement to say that Shiva is adamant everyone be on their best behavior, never have any fun what-so-ever, and be utterly perfect. She holds herself to the same exacting standards her father, and guardian Clockwork, did.

<p>Although not purposefully alienating of others, Shiva has a difficult time connecting with people and forming emotional bonds due to the adverse childhood experiences she has endured. Trust is hard-won and warily given, if given at all, and the most she often does is trust that she cannot trust others. Faced by not only the loss of her father and the pack she had grown up in, Shiva grew up too quickly and doesn't seem to be able to differentiate between true danger and perceived danger. As a result, she is often on edge and this translates into an incredibly reserved and unforgiving front. As a Sordid, she is known for being exacting and vicious when times call for it, as well as going to great lengths to make sure justice has been served. Among her packmates, it might even be joked that she and her brother have a bad-cop, good-cop routine.

<p>Although considerably warmer towards family members and packmates (when she isn't on a mission, at least), it's truly only her brother that receives Shiva's affectionate and mild-mannered side. Osiris has been the one constant in her life after the abandonment of their mother (who had never really been a figure in their life to behind with), the death of their father, and the disbanding of their birth pack. Together, they've survived tragedy after tragedy and it's almost impossible that Shiva will ever trust anyone more than she trusts Osiris.

<p>Much as Shiva may look and act like the bad bitch who ain't afraid of <i>nothin'</i>, she's got a million and one insecurities and chips on her shoulder. In private, well away from prying eyes, she is prone to leaning heavily on her brother in order to make it through another day of flawlessness. She often wonders if she will ever fill her father's shoes, if their Kingdom will survive in the midst of the turmoil within her birthplace, and if their family even knows they exist; raised on the traditional "family first" mentality of the Lakshmanas, the lack of familial contact makes the traditionalist and ever dutiful Shiva increasing nervous. Bound to a sense of familial honor, she seeks to follow out her father's footsteps and carry on his moral code as long as possible and as closely as possible.

<p>Too bad Shiva doesn't know that her father was not at all an honorable man-- at least before his youngest children were born.

Biography
